The Cards should be lauded for their scouting and development, but I don't think their ability to spend is an even comp for the Royals. |

How do you all feel about the return you got for Herrera? Seems kind of anemic to me.

It could also be the second coming of the Johnny Damon trade. Expect something similar to the end of the Baird era if it ends up being a similar return. |

I wouldn't want them to buy anything this year. They aren't good.

Understatement of the decade. These are going to be Buddy Bell type teams, but without Zach Greinke type talent awaiting to blossom in the rotation.

Jim Bowden hates the trade from the perspective of the return we got. We got ****ed on this trade.

From the Royals perspective, this is probably the most encouraging review of the trade you could post. I would trust Dayton Moore over Jim Bowden 105 times out of 100.
